Notes and References
GNP and military expenditure were analysed on a per capita basis for the purpose of normalising the data.
Japan shares a considerable part of the costs expended by the United States in stationing its Armed Forces in Japan. These monies come from Japan’s military budget. In addition, Japan continues to receive what is termed ‘onerous’ aid from the US Armed Forces. Having regard to utilities and various forms of conveniences, Japan is also obliged to pay for these services.
